Summary:

The "omics" era has given a new perspective to the findings on the origin and evolution of the process of translation. This book provides insight into the evolution of the translation process and machinery from a modern perspective. Written by leading experts in molecular biology, this text looks into the origins and evolution of the protein synthetic machinery.

Contents:

A review on the origin of the different codes for translation

Evolution of ribosomes

Origins and early evolution of ribosomes

Evolution of ribosomes and ribosomal proteins

Evolution of Class II aminoacyl synthetases from the antisense of the genes for Class I

The translation process during the evolutionary transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes

Evolution of translational control: from archaea to eukarya

Distribution of elongation family GTPases EF1A and EFL in basal alveolate lineages

Evolution of mRNA structure; the eukaryotic mRNA 5 ́- and 3 ́- untranslated regions and their role in translational regulation

How lower eukaryotes contribute on our understanding of eIF4E-dependent translation

Evolution of functionally divergent eIF4Es and their roles in the regulation of mRNA recruitment and developmental processes

Evolution of eIF4E and eIF4G interactions in trypanosomes

Evolution of the functionally divergent eIF4E family members in deuterostomes

Evolution of the eIF2alpha kinases and translational control

Evolution and use of eIF2alpha kinases in the apicomplexans and their role in life history of the parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii

Evolution of the TOR pathway and translational regulation

Origin and diversification of eIF4E-binding proteins

Evolution of the protein synthesis machinery in mitochondria

Relationship between plant translation initiation factors and RNA viruses: An evolutionary perspective

Evolution of miRNAs and RNA binding proteins in eukaryotes
